When Akaseki woke up, it was still the early hours of the morning, so they did not set out immediately. There was another important thing they could do first—
Let Akaseki copy some Wind Release!
Like the Third and the Second, Orochimaru had the full "earth, water, fire, wind, lightning, yin, and yang" set—the ultimate "5+2" configuration.
Although Orochimaru did not know as many Wind Release techniques as the Uchiha Clan had accumulated, when it came to "practical ninjutsu," he might well have had just as many!
By comparison, although Jiraiya also had an aptitude for "Wind Release chakra transformation" and knew quite a few Wind Release techniques, he fell short of Orochimaru in every nature when it came to ninjutsu, and the number he knew was far smaller. That was why Jiraiya had previously asked Orochimaru to "generously offer guidance" to Akaseki.
As for the Uchiha Clan's collection, ninety percent consisted of "useless" ninjutsu—other techniques could perfectly replace their functions, leaving no reason to use them.
Once those were excluded from the Uchiha Clan's collection, Orochimaru also developed his own ninjutsu and knew some created by the Second and Third that the Uchiha Clan had yet to copy. In terms of useful ninjutsu, the Uchiha Clan had held no advantage.
After all, there had never been many Wind Release users in the Uchiha Clan.

rank techniques could be copied with a two-tomoe
